5-Ingredient Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

• 6 medium bell peppers (any color), tops cut off and cores removed
• 1 package Morningstar Farms Chipotle Black Bean Crumbles, cooked according to package instructions
• 3 cups cooked quinoa
• 2 cups (8 ounces) freshly-shredded Pepper Jack cheese
• 1 cup good-quality salsa (I used a salsa verde with corn)
• optional toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, diced avocado, extra cheese

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the peppers in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish so that the cavity side is facing up.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cooked black bean crumbles, cooked quinoa, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese and salsa until combined. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cavities of the six bell peppers. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
3. Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are cooked and soft and the cheese is all melted. Serve immediately, topped with optional toppings if desired.30 min timer
